Experiences in life, that will be experienced in Heaven

I know there is a wide range of videogames, some good and some bad. As there are good and bad movies, etc.

Btw, probably there is gonna be the "boredom room" for people who just like to do nothing and complain about other's activities too, so that they may be happy and satisfied as well 

 

 

 

You are too earthly based.

No I'm not, I'm always talking about Heaven in my posts, and not in a passive way of sitting down and wait for it, but as Jesus taught US in an active way of hastening his coming through the Lord' s prayer.Here's a more detailed answer of my thoughts about Heaven, from a previous answer I have written in another thread:

it's always beautiful to reason about how life will be in the Kingdom. It keeps us focused on what waits for us, it fills our hearts with gratitude so that we can serve the Lord even better.

Let's have the Scriptures talk for us, into 2 parts:

----------------------------------------------------

1 -On "pleasures":

"I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. "

"for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes."

"However, as it is written: "What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived" -- the things God has prepared for those who love him--"

"Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes. Truly, I say to you, he will dress "himself for service and have them recline at table, and he will come and serve them."

From these verses, we can imagine that incredible pleasures wait for us in the Kingdom. They will be different from the pleasures of the flesh in this world for 2 reasons:

1) in this world, someone have houses, good food, a healthy body, while someone else is starving to death. When we decide to go for a 2 weeks/thousands dollar vacation, we are "enjoying" it while someone else is starving to death. Instead, in the Kingdom there will be abundance everywhere, so pleasures will not be tied to guilt.

2) every pleasure will be made by God, so it will be incredibly better in its nature than those ruled in some ways by Satan 

In particular, I'm never able to read the whole verse from Luke 12:35-40 without joyfully crying. How mindblowing and heartblowing is the image of Jesus that "will dress "himself for service and have them recline at table, and he will come and serve them."?

----------------------------------------------------

2 - On "being similar to God":

"Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is."

"It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. 47 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions."

"All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them."

A loving Father, always wants His daughters and sons to develop at the maximum of their capacities.

Even a loving earthly father wish his daughters and sons to become noble, smart, capable, etc.

Now, it's reasonable (and Scriptural) to think that God wants us to be as similar to Him as possible (but of course not identical, he'll remain our King, in the Kingdom). So He'll likely give us incredible power.

That is another reason why is so important to become loving beings, before entering the Kingdom! Because we'll not stand still and doing nothing. We'll have incredible powers, by being similar to God. And only a loving being can use power for loving purposes, while power of evil beings must be limited, to avoid them hurt themselves and others (Indeed it's written: "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.  So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else’s property, who will give you property of your own?")

----------------------------------------------------

Finally, beware of everybody who tries to depict Heaven as a boring, static place. By doing so, they make people even more attached to this world, because people start to think that there are some things that they will only being able to do in this existance, while one day there will be nothing to do, just a boring contemplation. This is not Scriptural, nor makes sense logically, as demonstrated above, but it's a great way to pull the love for Heaven out of people.

Right. I just couldn't figure out what styles we would see there 

Ha ha ha. After fifty years on job sites, with at least a half dozen screaming  boom boxes in at least two languages, competing to see who's is the loudest, my idea of heaven would be the absence of man made noise. (We're talking about HEAVEN!)   Though I like a lot of jazz and blues and sad old melodies, I don't thing they, or other man made music,  will have any appeal to our NEW nature.  Who knows, you may be a orchestra director? I know there will be sound, and singing, but I believe it will be so far beyond our present imagination/comprehension. Some of the old classical music I've heard and some current spiritual  instrumental, and some large choirs, can cause my thinking/feelings/emotions to pause,  and think about well being, the absence of all pain. Physical, mental, emotional.    say it................    "Lord come quickly"

if I hear any rap “ music ‘ in Heaven......well, let’s just say it ain’t gonna be Heaven for me.....lol

Finally, beware of everybody who tries to depict Heaven as a boring, static place.

and beware those who would bring earthen and contrary ideals of passions of this life , INTO HEAVEN so it don't sound boring to them.

IF our idea of heaven includes wordly pleasures you spoke of ,  then you need to die to those things .  you trying to bring heaven up to earth

BUT that wont be.  REMEMBER HEAVEN and all its HOLINESS , the KINDOM IT desecends to earth .

And if its in us now.............those worldy desires would be no more .    die to them .   let gets the focus off the entertainment of the world.

and back on Christ and the gospel .   For i play no video games etc,    YET AM FAR FROM BORED.  the presence of CHRIST should be what ENTERTAINS US .   

[frienduff thaylorde]

Don't need the JOY of video games which , have you seen them  .  I mean if blood , war and sex is our entertainment .   THEN HOW ON EARTH DO WE KNOW CHRIST .

THE JOY OF JESUS is all we need.  THE JOY OF HIS SALVATION and the HOPE of His day should light a fire under us

that is all about doing all for the Kingdom with HOPE as we await HIS DAY.   I don't speak this to condemn you.  BUT TO POINT to JESUS and the JOY of knowing HIM. 

and that joy wont fade even in prisons or persecutions .   ITS REAL.     and HOPE in HIM does endure and abounds through all times .    Blessed be the NAME OF OUR LORD

And blessed be the NAME OF CHRIST JESUS that saved this wretched thing and has given me new life where all hopes are above on HIM.

And may the LORD please keeping working on this man.   ONWARD in the LORD PEOPLES . RAISE UP THOSE HANDS AND PRAISE HIM and watch the JOY that FILLS YOU

[Willa]

Worship is something we experience now that we will be doing in heaven.

Okay, as anyone will see as they view my profile pic, I'm a surfer. I have often wondered if surfing in the new earth will be an option. Why not? I know that the Bible says there will be no more sea, but that is in the context of there being no more earth or heaven as previously existed, yet we know there will be a new heaven and a new earth, so why not sea? After all, where will the river of life run into? 

However, I am also considering that riding comets could be an option...they have a real cool wake behind them. 

Yes indeed my friend I'm Up for that,  drop in on a Barreling Galaxy Cantus Firmus, blown out of the glassy the hollow tube with two fingers trailing in stary waters.
